Having large amounts of money is not a purpose in that of itself, because you have done absolutely nothing with it. Having large wealth is merely another possession, and possessions don’t normally contain a purpose. Using the wealth you have accumulated to bring your family comfortability and financial security for generations is a purpose. One may argue that obtaining large amounts of material items, and living a luxurious lifestyle is a purpose, but honestly, who is your purpose benefitting? You don’t have to save the world to be a success, but if you only benefit yourself, who are you a success
While the Winklevoss twins originated the idea and had begun executing it, they had taken no steps to protect their intellectual property and had no formal arrangement with Zuckerberg. It is likely that they made several missteps that led to the loss of billions of dollars. The first misstep was their assumption that their idea would be protected from theft. Their second misstep was not taking action to protect their idea, which led to the false assumption about Zuckerberg. For his part, Zuckerberg conducted himself with weak moral standing, having stolen a valuable idea and taken steps to register and launch it without stating his position to the Winklevosses.

For centuries, there has been controversy to whether Columbus Day should or should not be celebrated. Personally, I feel that our town should not celebrate Columbus Day. Christopher Columbus was many things; an explorer, an adventurist, a risk-taker, etc. But, many people argue that he really didn’t add anything new to European knowledge or the knowledge of the world at the time.

What was once thought of as a passing fad has not proven to be lucrative and basically essential. It offers an extremely cheap alternative to traditional advertising for businesses and gives like never before a way for people to get and stay in contact with friends and family around the world. There is no reason why Yahoo cannot offer this and offer it at the best quality of anywhere else. This wouldn’t be an easy or overnight creation. We would need to have the focus on quality and superior customer service.
Alex Wagner Hobbs ENC1101 1 October 2014 Summary and Personal Perspective Essay “In response he expected us to play the part of an enthusiastic family, but we were unwilling to resume our old roles” (44). In life, unreliable people surround us. These people often break promises, bringing disappointment to others. Sometimes the undependable person may not realize the disappointment the empty promises bring to others. Like in the quote from “The Ship Shape” by David Sedaris, the father expected the family to be excited about the promises, but instead they were disappointed because they had been let down numerous times.
Dear Cal, I am not writing you this letter as an apology because I am not sorry for all that I have done to people in the past. This is just an explanation of why I have done all I have. But I’ll be honest; I still don’t understand some things myself. I am not entirely sure whether I was born with this evil inside me or whether it was my choice. My upbringing did not seem to be a likely place to foster dissent and animosity in a young girl.
So many times I have tried to leave this world. The same feeling comes back, it makes me realize that I don't want this. This dreadful feeling is hard to fathom. Day by day it gets worse. I am trying to understand it.
As Gatsby puts his dream onto something unworthy (Daisy), his dream becomes less important as time progresses because it gets more and more unattainable. He puts so much stress on what he wants Daisy to be, rather than what she is, creating an infatuation in the idea of her, rather than the reality of her. Even Nick doesn’t believe Gatsby truly loves her anymore, stating that “he wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy.” (Fitzgerald 110)His hopes spread past reality and reason. At one point, Gatsby believes he can repeat the past (Fitzgerald 110) and get Daisy back. Gatsby sacrifices everything he is, and completely changes himself for Daisy.
Even if I ended up being a complete transcendental failure, maybe I'd still learn something along the way. On the first day, I went for about twenty minutes before cracking a joke at my best friend. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary for me, but I actually stopped and thought about the possible consequences of my actions. Breakthrough! I went for another twenty minutes, most likely, before making some
